Lawmakers call hospital sex abuse checks 'ridiculous'
(02-20 16:38)

Legislators have branded the system for reporting sexual abuse cases in public hospitals as ridiculous. The Undersecretary for Food and Health, Sophia Chan Siu-chee, told them that the Hospital Authority's reporting mechanism was voluntary, and there had been 13 reported cases over the past five years. But the Democratic Party's Helena Wong Pik-wan says she believes that's just the tip of the iceberg, RTHK reports.
